#Gus Atkinson

[stokesy55]

Alright Gus fucking sevenfer in the end??

Also Jimmy getting the last wicket of the innings 🥲

Not doing too bad with the bat - would be good to have caught their runs by stumps (though this weird delay might stop us from doing that)

Curious squad announcements

England squad for ODI series against New Zealand: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.

I mean, it’s incredibly similar to the squad of four years ago that won and won dramatically, which is mainly good. I mean, they absolutely won on a wing and a prayer, but the same team will have the same wings and prayers, so. I’m curious if S Curran will be in the starting XI. Probably - hopefully - and it seems to me that he’s the one projected to take on the Ben Stokes, batting-six-and-there-at-the-end role, and he doesn’t seem ready for that now so I guess the inclusion of Stokes is good. Just, you know, it’s better if everyone arrives in India with the Captain able to move.

I’m a bit surprised by the inclusion of Jason Roy. He hasn’t done much for a while. I guess I’m pleased in the sense that I like loyalty to players, but I was expecting Jacks, Crawley and Foakes and they have all contributed more to recent matches (although admittedly in different formats). But I’m also pleased because I have loyalty to players and if J-Roy can find some form with Jonny, England will stand in incredible stead.

Leaving out Harry Brook though.

Chuffed for David Willey.

England squad for T20 series against New Zealand: Jos Buttler (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue, John Turner, Luke Wood.

Yay, Will Jacks! I think he might be the crucial test player of the future so it’s nice to see him beginning to be included. Also great to see more Rehan Ahmed.

I wondered about Crawley, but the red ball and white ball teams seem to be pulling away from each other to some degree, so I’m not that surprised.

No Dan Lawrence in either format, which is a shame.

I don’t recall Gus Atkinson when Surrey have played Middlesex but I guess he must be something. Surrey are certainly an extremely strong side - the white ball team isn’t a million miles from a Surrey 1st XI. Which brings me to…

Seriously. Has Foakes set fire to a pavilion? Murdered a groundskeeper? Chained himself to The Oval and refused to leave?

[archie-gray]

7 wickets on his debut is crazy work he’s made a deal with the devil or something

england cricket is going absolutely insane right now

Gus Atkinson you beauty!! English sport currently on track for 4/4 this week (F1, women’s cricket, hopefully men’s cricket and football today)

With Broady gone and Jimmy about to retire :((( who do you think will be England's bowling attack from now on? Stuart recently made a statement that Jimmy's retirement (and his own too) leaves England wanting desperately for some experience. And I have to agree with him. I'll admit it, England aren't my team, so the only time I watch their tests is when they are playing against my team, India, and a bit of the ashes here and there. But very honestly, I can't remember any fast bowler apart from Jimmy and Stu to feature consistently in the admittedly small sample of matches I have. Woody is probably the next most consistent to these two. I remember Woakesy was there in the 2020 and the 2021 Ind test series, but I don't think he was there for the recently concluded 2024 one? Or if he did play, it wasn't more than a match or two. Again I remember Sam Curran being really good in the India series in 2018, and I'm pretty sure he played in the 2020 and 2021 series, but again, I don't recall him playing the 2024 one. Which is mystifying tbh, because Sam was absolutely great in the 2018 series, even Kohli said so and credited him with being the difference in the two sides or something like that. And I remember Ollie Robinson played a few against us, because he got into this pretty publicized sledging battle with Virat once. Apart from these three, whom I remember distinctively, I can remember some pacers like Olly (Stone I think??), Craig Overton, Josh Tongue, etc. playing, but they haven't featured consistently in squads or lineups. So who do you think can take up the Jimmy and Stuart mantle now? Because I can't seem to remember anybody who's consistently partnered Jimmy and Stu over the years, and has at least a fraction of their experience.

(God I am so not ready for Jimmy to retire, he debuted before i was born, so I assumed that he's been playing forever and he will continue to play forever 😭😭😭😭)

So I agree - one of the reasons Stuart and Jimmy never retired together was to keep the experience in the dressing room. I also very much think Jimmy has been pushed out rather than left of his own accord. I really desperately hope that he does stay on as bowling coach because at least then we don’t lose that experience.

We have all the ones you listed - woody is more impact than long spells, Jofra is hopefully coming back to tests soon, Sammy should hopefully get another chance, Gus Atkinson as well is being listed as the next one to watch. Woakesy didn’t play in the recent India test but I hope they do bring him back into the home attack. We also have tongue, Overton, stone. Personally I don’t rate Robinson but he’ll likely get a few more goes as we now try and work out what our future bowling attack looks like.

It was always going to be like this when either/both Stuart and Jimmy went because they’ve been the backbone of the England test squad for so long. I mean good on the management team seeing the India performance and declaring something needed changing. I just hope they do it right or it’s gonna be a tough few years

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star quits as 2023 line-up announced

The lineup of presenters, judges, and professional dancers for this year's Strictly Come Dancing has been confirmed by the BBC. This fall, Tess Daly and Cladia Winkleman will once again serve as hosts of the flagship show. BBC Strictly Come Dancing star quits as 2023 line-up announced

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star quits as 2023 line-up announced As judges, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood, and Anton Du Beke will all be back. According to The MEN, Shirley will continue to serve as head judge despite concerns over her future. After the Strictly tour, she chose to take a vacation from TV and refocus on her own profession for a bit in order to preserve her sanity, she claimed in an exclusive interview with the Mirror last month. Since I work two jobs concurrently, it was much simpler for me to take a break from TV and take care of my health. "Am I going to return to Strictly? I proceed step by step at all times. I adore my job to pieces. I can't conceive of a job that would be more fulfilling if it were just that and nothing else. Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Graziano Di Prima, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Giovanni Pernice, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas, and Vita Coppola have confirmed that they will return. Two years after entering the line-up and performing in the ensemble, dancer Cameron Lombard has left the show, according to the line-up. It follows rumors that Spanish-born Gorka, who now resides in Greater Manchester with his fiancée Gemma Atkinson, was planning to leave the show after failing to catch Helen Skelton at the Glitterball in December. Following complaints from fans that the dancer and former Blue Peter anchor Helen had been "robbed," Gorka and even Gemma disputed the allegations.   Read the full article

[ad_1] Pakistan lost the first Test by an innings and 47 runs in Multan. (PC: X.com) From the unimaginable to the inevitable, Pakistan etched their name into the record books for the wrong reasons. They became the first team in Test history to lose by an innings after posting over 550 runs in the first innings. England sealed one of their most remarkable victories, winning the first Test by an innings and 47 runs on Day 5 in Multan. The match seemed to be heading for a draw after England declared their first innings at 823/7, with Harry Brook (317) and Joe Root (262) providing the bulk of the runs on a flat pitch. The Test took a dramatic turn in favour of the tourists when Pakistan suffered a batting collapse late on the fourth day. While the conditions remained relatively flat, England’s pacers exploited the new ball in the third session on Day 4, making the pitch appear unplayable at times, as cracks opened up and the bounce became unpredictable. Fatigue from spending 150 overs in the field caught up with the Pakistan batters, reducing them to 82/6 before a late rescue effort from Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal offered some hope. With Abrar Ahmed hospitalised, England needed just three wickets to secure victory and might have done so earlier had they not dropped four catches on Day 4. Salman and Jamal scored valiant half-centuries, but the task proved too great. England’s ever-reliable Jack Leach spun his side to what had seemed an improbable win, taking the final three wickets to seal the match. England’s rapid scoring rate opened the door for a result, and full credit goes to their bowlers for capitalising on the opportunity. Chris Woakes led the charge, with valuable support from the less experienced Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse. Pakistan’s struggles at home continue, as they set yet another unwanted record. What should have been a straightforward task of surviving the final four sessions on a batter-friendly pitch turned into a familiar story of collapse. Following a recent series defeat against Bangladesh, the hosts once again crumbled under pressure. This crushing defeat further damages Pakistan’s already faltering Test record, stretching their losing streak to six consecutive matches. With Pakistan cricket at its lowest point, criticism was inevitable after such a result. Here are some of the top reactions. “It’s a question of positive cricket from England or lack of endurance by Pakistan to describe today’s result. A team with a great cricketing history lacking a victory in the last 10 Test matches on home soil is not what we need to see,” Brad Hogg on X. “I’m sure bowlers will be questioning the quality of this track because they bend their back and nothing has happened,” Ramiz Raja said on a local TV channel. “You start questioning why such a surface was provided and why are we playing on such a surface at home.” “Pakistan Cricket is a gift that keeps giving,” wrote Aakash Chopra on X. “Babar Azam needs rest,” Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel. “He should be the one saying, ‘I need to rest’. It’s been 18 innings without a significant performance. Any other player would have been dropped after three games, like Fawad Alam. This is the harsh reality.” “220 runs in the third innings depending on the kind of lead you have can also be a good score,” Shan Masood on the 3rd innings collapse. “The trick is for us to learn from England, they found ways to get 20 wickets, and you can’t win without that. Yes, we have the 2nd innings to improve on but the most important thing is to learn how to pick up 20 wickets.” “I wasn’t upset with the surface here,” said Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie. “It’s pretty much what we expected and what we thought was going to be the best opportunity to play well in the game. If you look at our first innings, we put up a score of 550 and that part was fine. No one was saying anything about the surface then. It was only when we didn’t get our plans right and execute our skills with the ball that everyone started to talk about the surface.

Phil Salt to lead after injured Jos Buttler ruled out of T20I series

England will be without their captain Jos Buttler for their T20I series against Australia after he was diagnosed with a recurrence of a calf injury that has kept him out of action in the English summer. England are set to play 3 T20Is against a visiting Australian side from September 11 to 15. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said opening batter Phil Salt will stand in as captain for the T20i series.

Jos Buttler is also doubtful for a 5-match ODI series between England and Australia, scheduled to be played from September 19 to 29. England have not played white-ball cricket since their disappointing semi-final defeat to India in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Jos Buttler was backed by the selectors and management to keep his job despite the below-par campaigns in ODI and T20 World Cups in 2023 and 2024, respectively. However, his return to action has been delayed due to the recurrence of the injury. The England skipper has not played competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup semi-final on June 27.

"Surrey all-rounder Jamie Overton has been called up as a replacement in the T20 squad. The three-match IT20 series is set to begin next week at the Utilita Bowl, Southampton, on 11 September 2024. Additionally, Essex batter Jordan Cox has been added to the ODI squad as cover," the ECB said in a statement. Harry Brook is expected to lead the ODI team if Jos Buttler fails to recover from the injury, according to The Guardian.

England Men's IT20 Squad: Phil Salt, Jofra Archer, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Josh Hull, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, John Turner.

England Men's ODI Squad: Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Ben Duckett, Josh Hull, Will Jacks, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Jamie Smith, Reece Topley, John Turner.
